As a boy, Hardeep Singh Kohli knew where home was: Glasgow. But everyone else always assumed he was Indian. Because surely he couldn’t be British, with his brown skin and turban? Thirty years later, Hardeep sets out on a journey to discover where he is really from. His story is as hilarious as it is moving.
About the author
HARDEEP SINGH KOHLI Glasgow-born and reared, with a Sikh family background, Hardeep originally studied law but became a BBC graduate production trainee. He turned to writing comedy drama after a variety of television work, and his first series was Meet the Magoons for Channel 4. A columnist for Scotland on Sunday, he has worked extensively for BBC Radio 5 Live, is a regular on The One Show, Front Row and Question Time, and often chairs Newsnight Review. His one-off documentary, In Search of the Tartan Turban for C4, was nominated for an RTS and won a BAFTA; a documentary series about contemporary Britain, Hardeep Does…, took a light-hearted look at subjects such as race, sex, religion and family; £50 Says You’ll Watch This explored a personal passion – gambling. Another passion with writing is food – he was runner-up on Celebrity Masterchef 2006 – and both will come together in his first book, Can You Serve a Maharajah Haggis? (Canongate 2008). Hardeep Singh Kohli is a judge for the 2008 Man Booker Prize.
